SWEAT-BAND FOR HATS.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Oct. 5, 1915.

Application filed December 15, 1914. Serial No. 877,386.

To all whom t may concern.' I

Be it known that I, HARRY D. KREMER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Bozeman, in ,the county of Gallatin and State of Montana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Sweat-Bands for Hats; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it apper tains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in sweat bands for hats, helmets and head Wear generally, and the objectl in View is to produce a band which is padded with hair upon the portion which comes next to the forehead intermediate the hair upon the opposite sides of the head and serving as a means for preventing the hat from wedging against the forehead and preventing pressure upon blood vessels through which nourishment is fed to the scalp.

My invention consists of a simple and efficient device of this nature having various details of construction, combinations and arrangements of parts which will be hereinafter fully described, shown in the accompanying drawings and then specifically de fined in the appended claims.

My invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which:

Figure l is a perspective view of a hat showing the sweat band as applied thereto. Fig. 2 is an enlarged detail perspective View of the sweat band detached, and Fig. 3 is a sectional view on line 3-3 of Fig. 2.

Reference now being had to the details of the drawings by letter, A designates a hat band of the usual form and B designates strands of hair which are wound about the band a portion of its length, sufficient to form Copies o! this patent may be a cushion to the skin upon the surface of the forehead and sides leading up to the edges of the hair of a person. Portions of the hair are adapted to lap over each other and the hairs upon the in ner portion of the band are preferably fastened together by glue or other adhesive material, whole lportions of the hair upon the outer 4face which come in contact with the bare skin of the head are left loose in order that they may conform to the contour of the forehead and not exert any unnecessary pressure upon the blood vessels. The fastening of the hair by glue or other adhesive material upon the yinner side will be sufficient to cause a stiffness to the band and which will prevent the same from folding or wrinkling when the hat is removed from the head.

By-the provision of a sweat band made in accordance with my invention, a simple and elicient device is afforded whereby the band will serve as a cushion to the head, releasing the same from pressure upon the blood vessels and permit the blood to circulate freely and also serve asa Ventilating means as air will pass between the strands of hair. It has been demonstrated by the provision of a band made in accordance with my invention that baldness will be prevented, headaches avoided and a band to the forehead and the scalp in either hot or cold weather.

What I claim to be new is A sweat band for hats consisting of a sectional band having a layer of hair winding transversely around the same from end to end, the strands of hair upon one face being loose and held to the band by an adhesive material upon the other face.
